Italy faces an extreme meteorological division, with the South of the country and islands registering temperatures above 44 degrees Celsius, while the North is affected by heavy showers. The suffocating heat that has marked the entire Italian summer gives no respite and keeps the population on alert.
Friday marks the peak of the fifth heatwave hitting the country, prolonging the period of high temperatures that has been felt over the past months. Thermometers in the South and Italian islands consistently exceed 44 degrees.
Meteorologists have issued warnings about the situation, alerting that the humid heat should maintain its pressure on Italy during the month of September. This forecast indicates that intense heat conditions should continue even with the approaching autumn.
The situation creates a significant meteorological contrast within the same country, with regions facing extreme heat waves while others deal with intense precipitation and adverse weather conditions.
